The Hollyoaks star loved getting into character as Alice In Wonderland for Asda’s BBC Children In Need campaign.

“It was so much fun. I used to have a dressing-up box as a kid, with big puffy 80s’ blouses and bridesmaid dresses. I’d parade down the street in fancy dress with my friends,” she said.

Jorgie, 24, who plays Theresa McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, is well known for her saucy photo shoots. But she sees that as another acting role.

“I love doing those shoots,” said Jorgie, who came second on last year’s Dancing On Ice. “But I don’t think of it as myself.

“I don’t wear make-up all the time when I’m not working.

“I think I’m a big idiot in real life. I watched Dancing On Ice and thought ‘Oh my God, I’m an idiot!’

“I hate serious stuff. If I’m in the green room and someone’s laughing I have to ask them what’s funny.

“Me and Nicole Barber-Lane (Myra McQueen in the soap) are like two fiveyear- olds, always messing about.

“And my mum is even crazier than me. We used to go shopping and just lie on the floor – for no reason. I can’t do that now I’m on telly.”

Tiny size six Jorgie gained pounds after the Dancing On Ice tour. “I’m not sure how much because I never measure or weigh myself,” she said. “But I kept eating like I did on tour. You can’t have four burgers for lunch any more when you’re not constantly training.

“My bum cheeks were rock solid when I was on the show.

“Now I’ve cut down on the food and I do hot pilates.

“But I don’t want my weight to be an issue. I get a lot of supportive messages from girls and women, which is lovely. And I think it’s important to show that you don’t have to be skinny.”

We won’t see Jorgie in I’m A Celebrity – unlike her pal, ex Corrie star Helen Flanagan, 22 – or in the Big Brother house.

She reckons she’s too “cringy” for reality TV. “I’d forget about the cameras and embarrass myself, I’d probably be trumping!’ she laughed.

“I love Helen. I think she’ll do well in there but Dancing On Ice was enough for me.”

For now, Jorgie is sticking with Hollyoaks and promises some dramatic scenes coming up for Theresa.

“The show is amazing at the minute,” she said. “I’m not desperate to leave but I’m not desperate to stay either.

“Eventually I would love to do musicals or period drama. Something to challenge me and surprise people. But I’m happy at the moment.”

Jorgie hopes Hollyoaks will sweep the board next year at the Soap Awards – and she would like Corrie babe Michelle Keegan to be challenged for her “sexiest actress” crown. “Michelle is very hot, so when she’s in it we’re all like ‘Oh well, that’s that’.

“But it would be amazing if one girl from Hollyoaks won sexiest female. We get naked enough.”

She added: “It would be nice if Hollyoaks got more awards. It’s shot like a movie and I think we’re ahead of the times.”

Jorgie is dating co-star James Atherton (Will Savage) – but the couple don’t know when their anniversary falls.

She said: “We’re celebrating our first year together at Christmas but actually I think it might have been last Octoberwe got together… or maybe last summer. It’s so confusing.

“We didn’t tell anyone at first . We just started hanging out more and more and really liked each other – there’s no one to remind us when we started dating.”

The pair plan to move in together “probably soon” and Jorgie has confided that she longs to have “six kids”.

She added: “Sometimes when I’m really hyper he tells me to calm down. But he’s just as silly as me.”
